News from jraThe Vectorworks ExpertsTraining Software / Provider of the Year 2018

Adrian McGregor is an urban design, landscape and Vectorworks genius, and was a great inspiration to me when working in Sydney back in 2000. It was working with Adrian and Adam Russell, (Raw Architects) on a winning competition bid for Victoria Park in Sydney, that I became truly inspired with a clear vision for the future.

I realised that I had to set up my own business combining Architecture, Visualisation, Sales and Training . Vectorworks and ira was founded in 2000 on my return to the UK. Vectorworks has been my tool and choice and passion since MiniCAD 4, and today I love it more than ever for everything it empowers me to do.

For the fourth year in a row, Vectorworks software products have received “BEST of SHOW” awards from Architosh during the AIA Convention. The leading online magazine dedicated to CAD and 3D software professionals and students worldwide, Architosh presents “BEST of SHOW” honors to the top design technologies making waves in the architectural industry. Vectorworks Designer 2015 won in this year’s Desktop category and Vectorworks Nomad 3.0 was one of three winners in the Mobile category.As a complete BIM modeling tool, Vectorworks Designer 2015 “packs a big punch in the area of visualization and rendering options. And Vectorworks 2015 gave an official ‘thumbs up’ for 4K displays, something its peers have not yet done,” said Anthony Frausto-Robledo, AIA, LEED AP, the editor-in-chief of Architosh.com.With a perfect score at the product review level, Vectorworks Designer 2015 took first place in the Desktop category because of its industry-leading landscape architecture tools, new site modeling capabilities, and its competitive pricing model. No matter where you are in your workflow, Vectorworks Designer gives users the freedom to create from within a single platform – and that’s a remarkable tool.In contrast to the Desktop awards, the Mobile category recognizes innovative software solutions that make designing on mobile devices easy and useful to your workflow, employing their strengths as lightweight, cloud-connected hardware.
